the pressure inside the tyre is 3 x10^5 N/m^2

after a period of time the temperature has dropped 20 degrees to 15 degrees

what is the new pressure? assuming the volume of the tyres remains constant

PLEASE EXPLAIN SO I UNDERSTAND RATHER THAN JUST DOING IT FOR ME!!

Use P_1V/T_1=P_2V/T_2
since V is constant they bth cancel out
and youre left wit
P_1/T_1=P_2/T_2
can you find the new pressure now?
remember T is in K

no :frown:

what is _ and what is V?????

i did that to distinguish the two pressures (since Latex not working)
P1 and P2 (reads pressure 1 and pressure 2)
V is the volume ( there is no need to distinguish as the volume is constant they will be same )

ok thanks :smile:

will try and figure it out from here

The temperature must be on the Absolute Scale. 15 becomes 273+15= 288. The original temperature is 20 more than this, so 20+288=308

The temperature must be on the Absolute Scale. So 20 degrees becomes 293 and the 15 becomes 288

I did mention that in my op.:h:
